He personifies struggle. He is still leading the fight against apartheid with extraordinary vigour and
resilience after spending nearly 27 years of his life behind bars in South Africa before he became the country's first black president.
He has sacrificed his private life and his youth for his people, and remains South Africa's best known and loved hero.

He consistently refused to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom.
